I love Psalms 118:16-17 because you can turn it to “Lord let your word be fulfilled in my, so my business will not die but live.” You can turn it into a prayer declaring over your family, relationships or career. The Lord will not fail you. He will sustain you He will uphold you with His Righteous Right hand. I’ve experienced many human failures, and my pastor recently said it’s the cross you have to bear.

There are many people who’ve come before you and I who’ve stolen from you, who’ve lied about your name, and who’ve discredited your work. Think back in university; wasn’t there a group of people who deliberately left you out risking your grades?
God tells us we’ll face trouble on earth, but be confident in His eternal plans
Have you faced someone in the workplace who almost risked you your job? That’s why this bible list is not for adults. It can be for university students as well as adults. Whenever you face unfair situations, know that Elohim is the Righteous judge.
It’s for those reasons I can celebrate my human failures. Trust me this took me all 33 years of my life. Previously if someone stole from me, I would seek justice. I would be resentful for 12 months.
When you don’t move on with God, it leads to death. That’s because it robs you of your joy and faith in God. Contrast this when I stopped battling life alone, I learned that Jehovah moves on quickly because He’s already established sometime for you.
Be ready for something new
Why you should move on quickly from someone stealing or wrongfully accusing you is because God is always facing forward. I learned this when I was about to strike the rock on a similar bad situation. Yet I prayed to God, God started speaking about new things.
Similarly for you, there’ll be times when He justifies you according to your prayers. Then there’ll be times when you’ve got to keep your gaze looking forward. When I stopped wanting a certain outcome, I realized God was busy with something else. He was doing something new.
Apart from these bible verse, I want you to read Jacob’s story, just the beginning after his mom sends him to go stay at his uncles place. There’s only 2 lines, maybe dedicated to people being jealous of Jacob and stealing his wells. Whereever Jacob landed, God blessed him. Since God blessed him, the wells sprung with abundant water.
Be alert & listen to the quiet promises from God
Wherever Jacob landed, God blessed the well, so people stole it from him. How frustrating right! However God doesn’t say ” How sad,” instead He comes and blessed Jacob. He tells Jacob that He will make Jacob’s descendants as numerous as the stars.
God sees what you go through, but at times there are bigger life plans that are pleasing to the eyes and overflowing with abundance that God is preparing to give you. The bumps you’ll experience on this road don’t take away your anointing. As a result I hope you take these bible verses and use to them rejoice and praise God while moving forward. Rejoice in His Righteous Right Hand.
